This allows the robot computer to instruct the SRX to perform high level functions such as "run the motor at 100rpm" and the SRX will automatically adjust power to the motor as the load varies to keep it spinning at 100rpm. The robot computer communicates with the SRX over a two-way CAN communications bus that is particularly easy to wire, requiring only two wires for all of the motor controllers. The robot computer can issue commands to the SRX and request status.
